Well that was not too difficult. After doing some shoping we went to Costco and picked up the Nikon D60. We went the next day to Strasburg, PA and I took about 300 pictures of the kids and the trains. Got back today and used Paint.NET to touch up some of them before uploading them [...]
Family
To Digital SLR or not
I’m not a camera person. I have a really good memory for events and like to talk to people. I can’t show people what I saw but the telling is very entertaining. This really means I take lousy pictures, mostly because my hands shake. Using a small camera like our Canon SD400 always get a [...]
A great weekend
I can’t ever forget Mother’s Day since my birthday falls right next to it. Remembering does not sound like much but it’s an accomplishment for me. I have been forgetting one of my best friend’s birthdays for 35 years. In addition to enjoying my birthday, Lily and I had a great weekend with the kids. [...]
NY Autoshow
Monday we took the kids to the NY Autoshow. The kids liked it and they came home exhausted. It was like they turned Jacob Javits into one huge car dealership. There were very few concept cars. The cars were cool but I could have seen much of the same thing just by visiting the car [...]
It's the good imoogi!
Lily got the D-War DVD from the library and we just saw it. Even the kids say this movie is horrible. The dialog, story line, premise, everything was just plain awful.
Health advice from a 6 year old
I caught a bug or stomach virus this week. This morning when I got up to wake the kids, I got taken over by nausea. Nice post I know but bear with me for a moment. My son goes to the bathroom and says “Daddy, you should throw up. You’ll feel better if you do.” [...]
Andre's trip to Disneyland
Disneyland, January 18 to 20 How we know each other Rao and I worked together 10 years ago on an enormous Year 2000 computer project and have stayed in touch ever since. I attended his wedding in New Jersey many years ago and was unable to blend in to the crowd of hundreds because: (1) [...]
Wintuk was great
Yesterday Lily and I took the kids to see Wintuk. They were so so about the show until the lights went off and it all started. The girl was mesmerized and could not take her eyes off the stage. The boy less so. After 15 minutes he started fidgeting and had to shift around. Once [...]
Late Christmas shopping
Last night Lily and I left work early to catch the 5:22 PM train. The plan was to go to Toys R Us and pick up toys for all the kids we know. It went well except we got charged twice for one of the items. Lily always checks the receipts before we leave the [...]
It's an action figure
On my son’s birthday I got him a G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Arctic Duke. This one is from Hasbro’s web site. Its very different from the one’s I had growing up (but still has the kung-fu grip). For starters it looks like it could survive anything I could do to it. I don’t think I [...]
